Article posted in Kalaage: Rapture that words lead to!
Dear All, and all interested, I am sharing the article that I posted in Kalaage, followed by a brief author bio. The web link of the article: https://www.kalaage.net/work/rapture-that-words-lead-to
Rapture that words lead to!
The aura exuded by words—their hidden potential
revealed and realized, the treasure without measure exposed—leads to a rapture
that rupture forever the false notion that words are limited in reach and
richness. It captures the imagination with their truth, and keeps unveiling
incessantly the “invisible” in the words. The rapture, permanent once led to,
keeps invoking tribute to words—that too worded by words, expressed in and
through words. After all, all processes, in and of life, are cyclic, as life,
in its entirety, is a cyclic process—a cycle, eternally recycled!
Thus, the process continues…and yet another word opens
itself up, magnanimously, revealing its grandeur…leading to “sight,” and thus
to cite, as led I am to the insight which are hence incited!
Two words, adjacent to one another in a blog, posted
a couple of years ago, come together and open up a word! “Specific and
“action,” appearing in a sentence as “specific action,” present the word,
“specification,” specification opening up as: Specific action.
It is a “vision,” a flash of insight sighted, a
flash of inspiration joining the two words, specific and action, to open up the
word specification as the two joined words: specific and action! So is invoked
this specific action: This presentation, a tribute to words, in and through
words!
Definitely, a specification ensures a specific
action, when the specifications for the action are received and followed well.
Words continue to inspire the awe and thaw the rigid
notion, melting forever the illusory belief that limited in richness and reach
they are. They are rich beyond measure, and their reach is beyond measure as
well! But, their richness and reach, to us and for us, depends solely on how we
receive them, how we get to “see” them—as thus only we conceive and receive
them.
How, otherwise, two words come together to form and
open up another word? They come together, and then move apart, showing how
grandeur is ever a part of them, their truth transcending the apparent
contrasts of “coming together” and “moving apart by opening up”! Words are rich
without any specification! Thus, specification no more means what it meant to
me, it means much more, the more endless! The more is entered the chest of
treasures that words are and have, the more it opens up its chest, revealing
more and more, with the intrinsic Word that it would ever have much more to
offer, as what it is, is a dimensionless chest of treasure…ever open, yet,
visible only when the invisible is spotted in the apparent, seen only when we
are receptive to the scene it nurtures! Thus, led I am to see these words,
differently—seeing their grand union—after two years of the scripting of the
piece that holds these words, though, they have been ever unified,
specification intrinsically enfolding specific action.
Every word holds an opening, beholding which, led we
are to endless rapture!

Freedom from expectation is freedom from fear ~ A tribute to Rabindranath Tagore
Little did I know that I would be getting to know,
in the way I have been led to know the known again: The moments of “zero expectation” are the moments that bless us with
the fulfillments in ways unimagined, and even bless us with the fulfillment of
desires that we are even unaware of having and harboring.
Yes, so it has happened again, with and as the Grace
of God!
“What? And “How?” might be the two very natural
questions, evoked by these declarations and affirmations! I shan’t keep anyone
waiting! Actually, what happened is, I got led to the following words (presented
in italics for discernment and for clarity)…the first sentence of the first
paragraph, the realization (anew) and insight, being the precursor of the
entire reception, expression and presentation, leading to this piece of sharing,
the tribute unfurling on its own thus…
“When we expect
not anything from anyone, we release all from our expectations, and primarily
and actually we release ourselves from all demands and expectations. For this
to happen though, blessing with the permanent state and level of Bliss-consciousness,
the unwavering trust in the Divine, and hence in Self—accepting Self
completely, Loving Self wholly—has to be in place. This in place, nothing is
deemed out of place, relaxes as one then in the Infinite Sea of Isness, basking
in the Ocean of Oneness with the Divine, Love and Light Eternal, asking not,
anymore, anything, from anyone—not even from Self. Then, and always
subsequently, ‘The mind is without fear.’ Then, Rabindranath Tagore’s prayer,
for ‘Where the mind is without fear,’ meets with the yearned for answer: ‘Amen!’
Yes, Amen!”
Having received this, as the words flowed, and once
they had thus flowed, I realized that I have been led to a tribute to the seer,
philosopher, God-realized being…Rabindranath Tagore…on his birth
anniversary—and unasked! And having realized, that so it has flowed, flowed,
the following words, as reinforcements, affirmation and further acknowledgment…
“When we expect
not, desires are realized—and in ways unprecedented and unimagined. So is the
call too, to free ourselves from history, free from precedence (yes, genetic
too), as expectation is limited by and to history, precedence, limited
perspective-bred thought and belief.”
And subsequent to these words, forms the title of
this tribute, as the realization makes itself known: Freedom from expectation is freedom from fear, and when the mind is
free from expectation, mind is free from fear.
Truth calls out to all: Be not a prisoner of history and precedence. Be free from expectation. Freedom
from expectation is freedom from doubt, and hence, is freedom from fear. Trust
in Truth, sets free from expectation. Truth is free. Truth is Infinite. Let go,
and let It glow, flow and guide!
Eternal Word of Truth is: “Then you will know the
truth, and the truth will set you free.” (John 8:32, http://biblehub.com/john/8-32.htm)
Indeed! And so have flowed these words, when little
did I know that I would be led to and blessed with them…little did I know that
this tribute would form and flow, for this immortal essence in form,
Truth-realized, Rabindranath Tagore! And as it has flowed and formed, on his “birth
anniversary,” so has been affirmed, yet again: Timing is ever perfect, as Divine Order forms and guides life eternally,
the Divine being Love Unconditional, Light Eternal!

As shared, on Quora.com
A note, shared as “bio,” on Quora.com, sharing with you all too, as is meant for all...
“I am an author and a freelance editor of books, also having the experience (of close to 9 years) of teaching in a government college (left the job in 2012).
My first book upholds a truth of life: There is a cause, behind every effect, even if invisible is the cause. Without the cause, effect cannot be! Invisibility of proof, is no proof of the non-existence of proof! And making the invisible, visible, in and as our awareness, is the work and purpose and quest of science! We all are in search of our existential truth, in search of our Source, a quest it is, and the Ultimate Treasure Hunt! And our search takes us on the varied routes of the various “subjects,” “disciplines”: each, a unique thought process, leading to the Destination, and shaping the destiny, consciously or otherwise. Each subject is similar at the core, as each subject seeks the One Core of all.
So upholds the truth, my first book: Why Happens, What Happens… It is Chemistry, in Life’s Laboratory!
The book contains not any chemical equation, rather, brings out the similarities in the philosophies of life, chemistry and psychology. A book for all it is, and kids (class 9–10 onwards) too will enjoy it, as the book makes them lose their fear of chemistry! The book is filled with anecdotes, shared as analogies. Each chapter begins with an incident from my life, and introduces the topic of the chapter. Learning is facilitated by “association,” and that is the purpose of analogies and that is what they do.
It is all about having a rocking chemistry with one’s own Self! Then only and thus, life rocks, and one thrives, no more heaving heavy sighs!
Wish all a thriving and rocking chemistry with Self, and thus, with Life in its entirety!”

A tribute to Albert Einstein
I have been blessed to experience the humility of
many, and in that list, shines Albert Einstein, and evokes this tribute to
him—the tribute in itself the Divine’s Grace, just as he has gifted humanity,
and eternity, with the gift immeasurable, a derivative of his Special Theory of
Relativity, inarguably the most famed
equation, E = mc2.
On
this day, the soul-in-form, the energy-in-form, called Albert Einstein, came to
form and on his way to self-realization, as he accomplished the immeasurable, he
humbly took no credit for all that he accessed and attained, humbly hailing his
curiosity and not his talent: “I have no
special talents. I am only passionately curious.” Realizing the necessity
of curiosity—essential for inventions, as Plato says, “Necessity is the mother of invention”—he also calls out: “The important thing is not to stop
questioning.”
Grounded
firmly in and rooted to his Truth of being and buoyed thus by his humility, through
his passionate curiosity he accessed the mechanism of manifestation (how all
things come to form), and hence his equation, which, effectively says, “As you
sow, so you reap.” He cracked the code, breaking the superficial barrier
between energy and matter, and thus, that between science and spirituality too—both
unique and thus relative approaches to understand the existential truths, and access
the answer to why appears that which appears.
Impeccable,
the Divine Order, perfect to the core, leading It is to the Perfect Core, Our
Truth: call it God, Source, Vital Force, Creative Energy…whatever you will, all
are synonyms. As we believe so it is, for us!
As
is the energy, so is the materialization. As we think, so we become, and so we
create…
Amazing
is the natural law, that pervades and forms the order of life, and beholds the
infinite promise of leading to the fulfillment of our potential, when it is fully
utilized.
Awe
inspired, realizing himself to be just tool, a relay, a conduit of the Source,
in this Divine scheme of Life Eternal, Einstein acknowledges:
ü “There is no logical way to the discovery of these
elemental laws. There is only the way of intuition, which is helped by a
feeling for the order lying behind the appearance”
ü “Occurrences in this domain are beyond the reach of
exact prediction because of the variety of factors in operation, not because of
any lack of order in nature.”
ü “The more I study metaphysics, the more I am drawn
to metaphysics.”
And
questioned many times, regarding what relativity it is, he answers with his
child-like curiosity and simplicity, affirming that relativity is not something
meant only for those delving into science and specifically physics, rather, it
is all-pervasive in our life. We live relativity day in and day out, whether we
know or not. “Put
your hand on a hot stove for a minute, and it seems like an hour. Sit with a
pretty girl for an hour, and it seems like a minute. That's relativity!” That’s how Albert
Einstein, almost synonymous with relativity, defines relativity—enamoring, humbling
and awe-inspiring his simplicity, curiosity, creativity, commitment and humility.
And having been led to this tribute to Einstein, I
humbly acknowledge that it is actually a tribute to the Eternal, Inexhaustible
Energy, Love & Light Eternal, the Divine, God, Whose humility, graciousness
has been acknowledged by yet another realized soul, Rabindranath Tagore,
through his innumerable writings, each a tribute to the Source, and still, out
of that infinite ocean of his writings, the one that comes to the fore, having
so surfaced many times before, is: “Thou hast made me endless, such is thy
pleasure.”
Indeed, endless is the pleasure of the Infinite, as
infinite is Its humility…and so is Its pleasure presented through and
acknowledged by Albert Einstein! Happy Birthday, Albert Einstein Sir!
Yes, “the name is Einstein, Albert Einstein!” He
lives on, as the essence, as the endless energy unique…
